Charged particle moving toward a current-carrying wire.
Charged particle moving toward a current-carrying wire.
A long, straight wire aligned with the \(y\)-axis carries a constant electric current \(I\) in the \(+y\)-direction. A particle with positive charge \(+q\) is initially located at position \((d, 0)\) on the positive \(x\)-axis and is launched with velocity \(\vec{v}_0\) directed toward the wire in the \(-x\)-direction. As the particle travels closer to the wire, which option correctly describes how the local radius of curvature of the particle's trajectory and its kinetic energy change?
